I imagined it would be something like that but I don't understand why they mentioned votes. Is increasing immigration supposed to be a vote winner? As far as I can tell it's the opposite.
I can only speak for the UK. Essentially, left wing parties thrive on mass migration with no vetting. Rather than "lets just have skilled people coming here", they have the attitude of "let everyone come here", which in turn has seen crimes like sexual assault and rape skyrocket.
Recently the very far left Green party came out and signed a mandate of "anti zionism" which is the simple way for them to be "anti-jew" in order to appease the muslim vote, who flock to them under the "free palestine" movement
Bear in mind, a decade ago the green party was one that had a single goal - removal of carbon emissions and other green policies (hence the name). They realised they can farm the muslim vote by being pro mass migration and anti jewish, and their stance worked, membership is up 300% in the space of 5 years.
They're still too small to get in power but big enough to influence things on a local level (which is everything but green energy now)
But the Green Party isn't responsible for the mass immigration of the last decades. That was the Conservatives who all the while campaigned on anti-immigration.
The Right-wing in the UK are the ones who massively increased immigration and also refused to process asylum seekers quickly, because it allowed them to put refugees in their mates hotels, which led to a huge backlog. And as soon as the Left finally got into power, immigration decreased.
So not sure why you're pretending it was the Left who increased immigration when it was actually the Right.
Yeah, notably it was an achievement and major progress when the current Labour government got numbers back down to where they were when they left office a decade and a half ago after what the Tories did. It was also the right that decided it didn't want European migrants, mostly Eastern European (though people appear to have forgotten how vitriolic they were about Poles, Hungarians, and Romanians in the run up to 2016).
Or, maybe, antizionism is a growing movement that is completely unrepresented by major political organisations and the green party (which has always had a reach to the youth) is representing this view and is experiencing growth from that (and other progressive positions labour have only just started adopting.. funny that).
Once again, zionism is not judaism - the head of the green party is literally jewish. We had a conservative government for so long you don't even understand left wing positions, and anything left of the tories is unthinkable communism blah blah blah

That they don't have any cultural ambassadors from Al Qaidah, like most of western europe does.
